About this title

Synopsis

Long before there was a James Bond or a CIA, the brave men and women of the Office of Strategic Services worked secretly behind the scenes during WWII, playing a key role in the Allied victory. The agency's legendary director, Major General 'Wild Bill' Donovan, recruited only the best and his expertly trained spies were at war long before D-Day. Until now, their gripping real-life missions have remained as classified as their identities. Patrick O'Donnell has tracked down and interviewed over 300 former OSS and relates their incredible stories for the first time.

Review

Captain Robert A. Gormly, USN (Ret.)author of "Combat Swimmer" and former commander, SEAL Teams Two and Six and Naval Special Warfare Group Two"Operatives, Spies, and Saboteurs" is a superbly told story of the men and women of the OSS. Only by understanding the deeds of those who have gone before us can we appreciate the sacrifices made that paved the way for the outstanding records established by present-day special warriors.
